Wild Heritage Act

Thank you, Senator Boxer and Congressman McKeon, for your vision and leadership in introducing “The Eastern Sierra and Northern San Gabriel Wild Heritage Act” last year, and for shepherding it so swiftly through Congress, that all it now needs is a passage in the House and the signature of the president.

As a parent and spiritual leader in Santa Clarita, I often have the opportunity to lead groups of children and adults along our scenic mountain trails and through our beautiful open spaces.

What a sense of renewal we feel when returning from a hike.

Thank you for adding to our quality of life by also including the Magic Mountain Wilderness and Piru Creek in your legislation.

As caretakers of our planet, we have been entrusted with a sacred gift, and we will be judged by our actions and commitment to our holy obligations.

The wilderness and rivers that will be preserved upon passage of this bill are a sacred gift — to be treasured by generations to come.
